Gripped by calm

"Explosions hit London again"

Funny how the states spin it. All terror and fear and people in hysterics. Over here, its dead calm. And I mean completely, utterly, unphased. Again, the only thing that I've really witnessed is annoyance that yet another five underground lines are suspended for the moment.

I don't mean that people aren't concerned about bombings and such, but there's really not any freaking out. It annoys me how the States news agencies keep insisting London is "gripped" by "terror". Its not.

7/7
